The beds were really comfortable too. However, we greatly missed a washing machine and somewhere to hang wet clothes to dry after the beach. The kitchen wasn't very well equipped, only one sharp knife for cooking.

We really enjoyed our holiday with our family. The house could benefit from a few items:- bins in the bathroom, the only bin was in the kitchen! It would also benefit from a clothes maiden or a dryer as there was nowhere to dry towels, 6 adults and 4 children, there was a lot of towels. A washing machine was nowhere to be seen despite an email from you telling me there was one !! The bathroom door handle was broken on our arrival and it took 6 days for someone to come and fix it, despite me reporting it on the first day. Apart from those few niggles, it was all lovely and I wouldnât hesitate to book it again.

The views and location stunning. However we thought the house could be amazing and 5 star with some improvements. A washing machine definitely, more kitchen equipment eg chopping knives, more big pans, serving spoons for example. We also could have done with place mats and coasters to protect the tables. Decor a bit tired. Easy things to fix to make the house truly 5 star.
